After a recent concert at the University of Western Alabama in Livingston, AL, Hotlanta was presented with this recording of our performance.

CD-1 is the first half of that concert. What you hear is just as it happened that night. No editing, high tech tweaking, or studio enhancements, just the fun and spontaneity of a live performance.

During intermission the audience writes down their requests from a list in their program. CD-2 is the latter half of the concert when we perform these requests. Bill Rutan, our banjoist and vocalist makes this work. While singing and playing one song, we signal him the next song and new key. Few can go from song to song, key to key, while singing and playing, with the ease Bill demonstrates here.Ordering Information
